Evo MR coming here
If you read our report on Mitsubishi's 2004 Evolution MR (AW, Feb. 23), you're ahead of the curve. None other than Mitsu U.S. chief Finbarr O'Neill confirms the Subaru WRX STi Spec C-fighter will arrive on our shores by fall. The MR (for Mitsubishi Racing) comes with a six-speed manual tranny, active center differential, better medium-to-high-rpm power and substantial weight reductions by using aluminum wherever possible. Look for the U.S. version to start around $31,000.

The sedan will sit on the same platform used by the Saab 9-3, Opel Vectra and Chevy Malibu, and should go on sale by 2007. The new midsize Cadillac, most likely built in Sweden, will join XLR in the effort to re-establish the brand as a world-class luxury builder. There is a distinct possibility of importing the car to the United States.
